                             For Freedom: “Approval Issues”                              

• Approval issues are a Gospel issue. [Galatians 1:6-7; 10]
• The Gospel is the way to life and a way of life
• Approval issues rob me of my freedom.  [Galatians 1:10; 5:1; Philippians 4:11-13]
• Jesus sets me free to experience my real: identity, belonging, and purpose.  [1 John 3:1; Matthew 11:28-30; Hebrews 12:1-2]
• When we lay it down and let it go, we trade in being liked for being loved. 

Next Step Questions: 

1. Are approval issues robbing you of the freedom the Gospel gives us?
2. Will you release it all to Jesus today and embrace His freedom?
3. Will you “lay it down and let go” today and receive His love for you?

"From Brokenness to Breakthrough" - Rachael's Story - God at Work Ep. 29

What if your deepest pain could become your greatest testimony? In this episode of the Pathway Podcast, we sit down with Rachael McVey as she shares her powerful story of redemption.

If you've ever questioned your worth or wondered if true healing is possible, this conversation will encourage you. Rachael’s testimony proves that God can take our deepest wounds and turn them into something beautiful.

Organic Disciples: “Humble Service            

"1 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross."

- Philippians 2:1-8
